Step 1: Understand the Layout of your Phone

The applications that you add to your Windows Phone 7 cell phone are placed in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen, beneath the pre-loaded applications. This placement requires you to scroll to the bottom of your list to access newly added applications. You can rearrange the applications in order to have the applications you access frequently in the top panel of your smartphone for increased accessibility.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjPfX6D2ES

Step 2: Move an App

Scroll through your application icons until you find the app you want to move. Press and hold the icon until the other images on the screen minimize and turn a darker color. Drag your finger across the screen until the icon resides in your preferred screen location. Lift your finger, then press the icon again to confirm the application's position.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjPfX6D2ES

Step 3: Finalize Application Placement

Continue moving applications around your Microsoft Windows Phone 7 screen until you are satisfied with the placement. After using your new application arrangement, consider altering your layout based on your usage and speed requirements for each application. You can adjust the applications for a short-term need, or based on long-term consistent usage patterns.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjPfX6D2ES
